Thank you, Kumoshi! I certainly have no intentions to stop any time soon. n_n

Oh geez, that's a tough one. I'm gonna say it's a three way tie between Harley Quinn from Arkham Asylum, Gino Gambino of Gaia Online, and Poison from Final Fight. To be fair, the only reason why Gino's one of my favorites is because he was my first. It was such a terrible costume and I knew next to nothing about cosplay. But we all gotta start somewhere, so that lame costume's always going to have a special place in my heart.

A gender illusionist is someone who puts an insane amount of effort into looking like a woman for the purpose of entertaining others. It's a lot like being a drag queen, only the makeup and costumes are a little less flamboyant and extraordinary. It's a lot of fun, and the makeup and costume skills I've picked up from it have really helped me improve my cosplays.

How kind of you to ask! You can refer to me however you'd like. Sometimes I legitimately feel like either a boy or a girl, so I answer to both.

You know, I had no idea! That's a really, really cool concept. (Shall I quote Eddie Izzard, and ask if it's similar to being an "executive transvestite"?)

Okay, cool! Generally speaking whenever people crossplay I refer to them by their character's gender rather than their own, but I did want to check.

That's very considerate of you, and I'm sure anyone in that situation appreciates it. I'm the same way, I find it very polite and courteous to address someone by the gender they are representing at the time. The only reason I don't particularly care is because I switch back and forth so often, I don't even know what to call myself. XD

::laughs:: That's all right. Apple's a perfect "gender neutral" name. And anyway, it doesn't matter whether you're an "innie" or an "outie", so to speak, so long as you look fabulous doing it. Too bad we live on opposite coasts--I would love to see some of your costumes!
